Overall, I found Spycat fun to play, despite a passing similarity to certain Audiogenic games. Read Review

All the thrills of the world of espionage. Spycat is an adventure which takes place amongst the corridors of power in Blackhall, Drowning Street and the M.I.4 and a half underground surveillance complex.
Use the icon-driven control system to employ the 30 objects in nearly 100 screens and watch for guest appearances by spymasters "Q" and "M".
Your life as an undercover cat may not be easy but it will be exciting.
After 50 years service in M.I. 4 and a half you discover that you are to be pensioned off! There is only one thing to do and that is to sell your secret service memories to the highest bidder.
To complete the game you must:
Keep an eye on your energy level as you will die if it falls too low.
Energy may be replenished by finding and using an energy pill or a glucose pill.
Rooms which have a skull and crossbones over the door usually contain something fatal... tread carefully!
To open a door, stand in front of the door and activate the "IN" icon.
There are sixteen objects positioned in the rooms and a further fifteen objects which may be obtained from cupboards, machines, etc.
You may carry up to three objects at any one time. Transferring the research document to clingfilm is achieved by using the document in the appropriate room.
Z - Left, X - Right, RETURN - Jump
Cursor Keys - Select Icon, SPACE - Activate icon
SHIFT-ESCAPE - Exit
1/2/3 (Electron) or f0/f1/f2 - Highlight pockets 1, 2, 3 respectively
Tape: CHAIN"" (RETURN)
Disc: Hold SHIFT and tap BREAK.
